Dexter Slept Through The Night!

Again, that is.

Avid readers will recall that, although Dexter slept through the night for weeks 8-15, we've been having some issues with sleep for almost 2 months. Well, after about a week and a half of dedicated effort on our part (engineered by Dennis), things seemed to be getting better. He was waking once or twice a night to eat, but (mostly) didn't need much soothing in between. Or, at least, not a lot compared to how things had been.

In any case, last night he slept from about 8pm - 8am. YAY!

He did whimper/cry out at 1:30, 2:30, and 5:30, but only very briefly, and he put himself back to sleep each time. These brief awakenings, of course, mean his parents didn't sleep so well, but I hope this means we're on the road to the Big Prize - sleeping soundly through the night.

Update: The next night did not go as well. He had a night terror at 2:30, which woke him up enough for him to realize he was hungry. Still, that's just one wake-up, so that's still pretty good.
